Dragon Quest X Coming To PC This September

Dragon Quest X is coming to PC in Japan, Square Enix announced today during a livestream event. The PC version is slated for release on September 26th.

The download version of the game will cost 3,990 yen on PC, and will come with a free trial for 20 days. Meanwhile, a Special Pack that will include a Dragon Quest-themed security token, a controller an illustration book, a world map and an item code, will cost 9,800 yen.

A beta for the PC version is also currently in progress. You can access this by downloading the benchmark for the game here. Should your system pass, you’ll be able to download the game client and apply for the beta.

Perhaps.
But most likely this means it was a game made by Square Enix.

When was the last time a DQ game was not selling well and ported to PC?

What was the last time Dragon Quest was a MMO?

Final Fantasy XI retail sales were/are lower than many other main Final Fantasy titles, and even some spin offs. Despite this, it has brought in the most money for Square-Enix. It’s the monthly subscription that brings in more CONTINUED sales, not units sold. Last checked, Dragon Quest X has had a higher subscription count in Japan then FFXI ever did.

Er, since when has DQX not been selling well?

The WiiU version isn’t selling so hot, but that’s because the Wii version is half price and works just fine on the WiiU.

And DQX is doing better in Japan than FFXI did. Now we just got to see it in the US sometime…

Not really. In fact, that’s not the case at all. It’s an MMO. Why wouldn’t they eventually release it on PC?

Sure, but to say DQX isn’t doing so hot is kind of a weird thing to say in the presence of FFXIV. Outside of FFXI, DQX is their only other consistent moneymaker.

Oh I don’t agree with the original poster. I believe DQX is doing amazing for what it is. Also, I wouldn’t count FFXIV out with ARR releasing soon and having a huge emphasis on reaching a broader audience.

I can’t be happy that one of the few Wii/U games I wanted is being ported to a gaming medium I actually own?

DID YOU have to be so assholey about it?

I probably should have used an “xD” instead of the “!”

I think that would have gotten my message across better.

It was a statement of both rejoicing that I had one less reason to have to buy a console I don’t own and laced with a bit of…I don’t know how to word it, related to the WiiU game that I saw advertised the absolute most on Dengeki (until E3 possibly) not being a Wii/U exclusive anymore.

The Monster Hunter series “is unprofitable in the West” as well, but that doesn’t stop the fan base and Nintendo from localising it. Yes, this is Square Enix we’re talking about, not Capcom, but that just might mean it’ll take longer for SE to release them.
